T-shirts are for sale on board. Bait is included in your
fare. You should bring food, beverages and
suntan lotion. We do not sell any food or beverages on the boat. It's optional to
bring a camera, cooler, change of sandals or sneakers (we hose the deck often after
fish are caught to keep the deck clean. Your feet may get wet.)

Are there rest rooms on board?

What about food and beverages?

Bring plenty to eat and drink as we do not serve food or beverages on the boat.
Cans are preferred and beer is permitted in moderation. (A maximum of 3 beers per

What do I do with the fish while I'm still fishing?

What equipment and tackle do i need for new jersey party boat bluefishing?

Rods: A seven foot medium action pole works best.

Reel: A salt water spinning reel ie.penn 650 works very well. If using a convetional
reel, a penn jigmaster will work for both bait fishing and bait fishing.

Line: This is the most important piece of equipment. Bluefish have excellent eyesight.
The more they see in terms of tackle and line, the less inclined they are to bite.
A pale pink or geen line, clear or smoke line works best and is the least visable
to the bluefish. These color monfilament lines are translucent in yellwater and
the light can pass right through them, making it very difficult for the bluefish
to see them. The worst line you can use is a braided line, such as power pro or
spider wire. They are a solid line and the bluefish see them and swim the other
way when they see them. We don't even allow this type of line on the queen mary.
Dark colored monofilament lines such as orange, black, brown, yellow and red, or
any flouresent color line are highly visable to the New Jersey bluefish and send
them swimming the other way.

Hooks: The hooks sold in most tackle stores for bluefish are usually very poor for
day bluefishing, when the blues can see the best. All of the party boats including
the queen mary have bluefish hooks for sale that will work best for you. They are
two for a dollar and have lighter wire leaders, smaller swivels and much smaller
wraps than the so called bluefish hooks sold in a store for more money. We are not
trying to sell you a hook, we just want to see you catch fish.

Jigs: Jigs are a three ounce lure that the bluefish will bite when they are chasing
and eating smaller fish. They are dropped to the bottom and reeled up as fast as
you can reel. They can be bought on the boat for $4 or in a tackle store.

The Queen Mary has fishing equipment for rent, $7 for conventional & $12 for upgraded spinning outfits. The rental equipment come rigged, ready to fish & bait is included if necessary. If you loose the tackle provided you must replace and return your equipment the way it was given to you first thing in the morning. We have both right and left handed equipment. We take pride in handing you the BEST RENTAL EQUIPMENT found aboard ant party boat in the area. Lost conventional setup is $150 and lost Spinning outfit is $300
